Article Abstract

Indications for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have steadily increased over the last decade since the first trials including inoperable or very high risk patients. Thus, TAVR is now the most common treatment of aortic valve stenosis in elderly patients (vs. surgical aortic valve replacement -SAVR-). In this review, we summarize the current indications of TAVR and explore future directions in which TAVR indications can expand.

Aortic and mitral valve repair in a child with rheumatic heart disease.

Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg

September 2025

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia

The patient had rheumatic heart disease, which resulted in severe aortic and mitral valve regurgitation. Repair of both valves was performed at 9 years of age. During surgery, the retracted aortic valve cusps required extension with bovine pericardial patches and suture reduction annuloplasty, and the mitral valve was repaired using a Cosgrove-Edwards (Edwards Lifesciences LLC, Irvine, CA) annuloplasty band.

Objective: Endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases can be challenging in patients with difficult access routes. We describe a turn-over technique using a balloon guiding catheter (BGC) via the transfemoral approach to perform neuroendovascular treatment.

Case Presentation: An 80-year-old female with a recurrent right middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm after coil embolization underwent successful stent-assisted coiling via the transfemoral approach.

Infective endocarditis is a potentially fatal condition that can present with non-specific symptoms and rare hematologic manifestations, posing significant diagnostic challenges. We report a compelling case of a 67-year-old male with a history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia who sought medical attention for a five-month history of progressive iron deficiency anemia, accompanied by weight loss, fatigue, and vague constitutional symptoms. Initial extensive workup, including computed tomography of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and transthoracic echocardiography, failed to identify an underlying cause.
